SMACK TACOS

A fun, delicious take on art exhibits, Smack Tacos is a Pop-Up concept originally started in London and now making waves in Brighton. What’s the big deal you ask? Free Tacos on top of any art purchased, with art being based around selected artists’ interpretation of TAC MAN the humanoid Taco-man.

The artist’s various takes on the mascot are all purchasable, but looking around is free, there’s no obligation to buy! If you do make any purchases, just be careful not to get Pico de Gallo on your new art piece.
